Covered w/ Dew

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted October 18, 2011919 views19 comments

Green Anole shot from a couple weeks back. Caught this guy on a good humid, cool & calm morning. Down here in South Louisiana sometimes the dew & fog will stay around until mid-morning if it's cloudy & calm. Just right for adding character to any type of shot.

What a unique capture, Jude. Love the pose and look on this guy and the drops are amazing. You have a wonderful comp, great bg, and great details on this photo. Love it! It could also make another interesting photo to crop to just below his head to show a close-up of the face.

A terrific capture- The quality of light, the detail and the dew effect are really gorgeous on this image- You could also try to include in the composition the legs of the anole, but I can figure out your choice to show better the head of the animal- Surely a splendid image anyway- My best congrats, Fabio

Exceptional detail and nice comp. I would have liked to see the whole anole, if possible.
Congrats on the WP!
